12 year old girl achieves master angler status

[fishhugger]

did anyone read the washington post today ?

"Lucy Moore became both the first female and first child to receive Maryland’s Master Angler Milestone Award. She was just the 10th person to win the award."

she began fishing when she was 2.  her dad said she just took to it. 

you must catch 60 different species of fish --- each of which must be at least a certain size.  i hope i have that right... she's the first juvenile and first female recipient of the award.  you must advance from angler, expert angler... and ultimately master angler. 10 master anglers so far in the state.    

she already has chosen a college major: marine biology.

What I found:

""She accomplished this award by catching 10 different species of fish all of trophy size and they can be from anywhere in the state," said Zlokovitz."

Still incredibly impressive, and even more at her age.

ty... see --- she did it, i can't even get the requirements right!  actually, her dad and her combined to catch 54 species of fish.  a sort of personal goal of theirs, says the washington post....  but in doing so, she satisfied the requirements for the master angler milestone.  or is it millstone.......  

she did get a check to spend at bass pro shops....

That is awesome that someone encouraged their kid to purse something like this. Kudos to her for wanting to achieve a great goal. Now I have something to tease my buddies with down in MD.
